Potomac Valley Audubon Society (PVAS)

Outdoor Explore!

PVAS's newest children's program, for ages 6-9, is designed to help children explore nature on one Saturday a month throughout the year. Participants experience unstructured, but supervised, nature exploration and play in a variety of settings and habitats around the Eastern Panhandle. Each program is supervised by an adult.

Each month’s theme is appropriate to the time of year and habitat of the specific location. Programs are held in a different place, such as the C&O Canal, Yankauer Nature Preserve, Shannondale Springs, Eidolon Nature Preserve, or Flowing Springs Park. Parents drop off their kids for the three-hour program, but are encouraged to return at a later date to explore more as a family.

Preregistration is required and registrations are limited. Cost is $5 per child per session. Programs and settings change monthly so check back often for updates! For questions or more information, contact Ellen Murphy at Ellen@potomacaudubon.org or 304-676-8739.
